Initiatives and Referenda Campaigns

American Viewpoint has been commissioned by Initiative and Referenda campaigns from across the country to fund schools, roads and bridges, open space preservation and downtown development among others. Some examples of initiatives that American Viewpoint has assisted include:

Better Jacksonville Plan-Jacksonville voters are asked to pass a ½ cent sales tax increase to help finance $2.2 billion worth of improvements that would vault the city to the forefront of American cities. The project includes transportation projects, a new courthouse, main library, arena, baseball park, sewer lines, environmental clean up, and "smart growth" land preservation purchases. A tax increase had not been approved in 12 years. Ultimately the Better Jacksonville Plan referendum passes 57%-43%.

Amendment Three (MO)-With Missouri’s roads being ranked among the most unsafe in the country and voters having rejected previous initiatives to increase transportation funding, transportation advocates turned to American Viewpoint to help guide their efforts. American Viewpoint conducted a benchmark, several brushfire surveys and nightly tracking for the campaign. The Amendment passed with an astounding 79% of the vote on Election Day.

Open Space Preservation-In recent years American Viewpoint has worked with groups such as the Trust for Public Lands to help pass bond and tax initiatives in order to fund open space as well as conservation projects.
